Agreement

1.
Amendment to Section 1(b). Section 1(b) of the Executive Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Section 1(b) in its entirety with the following:

(b) Position and Duties. Executive shall serve as the Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company and shall have such powers and duties as customarily associated with the office of the Chief Human Resources Officer, and as may from time to time be prescribed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”). Executive shall report to the CEO and shall be subject to the direction and control of the CEO.

As of the Amendment Effective Date, Executive shall additionally serve as the Interim Head of Communications of the Company and shall have such powers and duties as customarily associated with the office of Head of Communications, and as may from time to time be prescribed by the CEO. In her service as Interim Head of Communications, Executive shall report to the CEO and shall be subject to the direction and control of the CEO.

2.
Amendment to Section 2(a). Section 2(a) of the Executive Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Section 2(a) in its entirety with the following:

 

 

(a) Base Salary. Effective as of September 1, 2024, the Company will pay Executive, as compensation for the performance of Executive’s duties and obligations hereunder, a base salary at the rate of $440,000 per year, less applicable deductions. Executive’s salary shall be subject to annual review not later than March 31st of each year for possible increase by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), which may be adjusted from time to time. The base salary in effect at any given time is referred to herein as “Base Salary.” The Base Salary shall be payable in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s usual payroll practices for its executive officers.

3.
Amendment to Section 2(b). Section 2(b) of the Executive Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Section 2(b) in its entirety with the following:

(b) Incentive Compensation. Executive shall be eligible to participate in an annual cash incentive compensation plan that the Company offers to its executive officers (the “Annual Bonus Plan”). Executive will be eligible to earn an annual bonus for each full calendar year completed (the “Annual Bonus”). Executive’s target Annual Bonus will be 40% percent of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”) in effect on January 1st of the applicable performance period, and will not be pro rated for calendar year 2024, except that for calendar year 2024, the Base Salary for purposes of the Target Bonus shall be the Base Salary in effect as of the Amendment Effective Date. The actual Annual Bonus payable to Executive with respect to a performance period will be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee based on achieving performance goals and objectives for such calendar year as reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee. Executive’s Annual Bonus shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable after the end of the performance period, but in no event later than the March 15th immediately following such period; provided, that Executive must remain continuously employed by the Company through the date on which the Annual Bonus is paid, subject to any recoupment as set forth in Section 23 of this Agreement, in order to be eligible to earn and receive the Annual Bonus (except as otherwise provided in Section 4(c) or 5(a)).

The Company and Executive further agree that this Amendment does not constitute grounds for “Good Reason” pursuant to Section 3(e) of the Executive Agreement, or otherwise constitute any trigger for the Company’s payment of any severance benefits to Executive pursuant to the Executive Agreement. The Company and Executive further agree that Executive’s title of Interim Head of Communications may be temporary, and neither the removal of the Interim Head of Communications title, nor the diminution of or removal of these related duties, will constitute grounds for “Good Reason” pursuant to Section 3(e) of the Executive Agreement.
5.
